I’ve never played Skyrim, so I’m looking forward to getting a free arrow to the knee

I collected Xbox games when they were dirt cheap -- but I put them on my 1TB HDD. So the DVD drive isn't an issue anymore. I had a Thompson in my first Xbox and after a while... the FMV kept skipping. I traded it for a Crystal machine with the Phillips drive -- much better.

I'm glad I have a collection of boxed Xbox games though, because some of them look great on the Xbox One X. Panzer Dragoon Orta...

If anyone is interested in getting a Series S, Argos now have them back in stock.
Buy Xbox Series S 512GB Digital Console at Argos. Thousands of products for same day delivery, or fast store collection.
I have just ordered one. I really want a Series X but I’m absolutely not paying scalpers so the Series S will do just fine until stock is readily available again, plus the wife won’t be happy forking out for an extra 4K TV this side of Xmas

I hear it only takes about 3.5hrs to finish but that it's great throughout.

Just dropping in here to say I'm almost at the end of the 3-4hr Hivebusters campaign and it's absolutely worth checking out.
Great graphics (HDR is amazing) and just a blast to play through. No filler, and I'm already thinking about cranking the difficulty up and going back in.
As a side note Call of the Sea on game pass, I've just taken a look at this and I can already feel it's another winner. I hear it just won some awards and I can see why. Another to put on the list if you're getting into game pass for Christmas.
